Dog Leash Policy
Dogs must be on a leash AT ALL TIMES when outside of the fenced-in off-leash dog park area. This policy includes open space hiking trails. Please respect others on the trails who may or may not like a friendly (or not-so-friendly) greeting from your canine company.
*The dog park is closed on Wednesdays for maintenance until 3:00 pm (or until maintenance work is completed). Open space trails remain open.
The dog park will CLOSE due to wet/muddy conditions and remain closed for approximately 3 days following to allow the areas to dry out. Just remember: If fields are muddy, it’s too wet for your canine buddy!
